How Much Does a Zygomatic Dental Implant Cost?
Zygomatic implants are similar to traditional dental implants in that they are designed to provide a permanent teeth replacement solution. They are crafted from titanium, a highly durable material that has a proven track record of integrating well with human bone. However, zygomatic implants are longer and angled differently from traditional implants so that, in the hands of a highly skilled oral surgeon, they can anchor a restorative dental device into the zygoma – or cheekbone – instead of the upper jawbone.Â
This makes zygomatic implants the ideal solution for patients with both extensive tooth failure and bone loss in the upper arch. It’s important to remember, though, that the placement of zygomatic implants is a highly specialized procedure. When you are researching the cost of zygomatic implants, you’ll want to consider what you should expect to pay not only for the specialized implants themselves but also the:Â
- Quality of the implant material and the prosthetic teeth that attach to the implantsÂ
- Expertise of your dental implant providerÂ
- Type of patient experience you can expect, including the use of general anesthesia for sedationÂ
Zygomatic Implant Costs Can Vary from One Provider to Another
The board-certified oral surgeons at New Teeth Now have been placing zygomatic implants for many years – longer and more frequently than just about any provider in the U.S. In fact, our surgeons perform zygomatic implant procedures – including for patients with highly complex cases – on a daily basis. This means, when you turn to New Teeth Now for zygomatic implants, you’ll be in the hands of accomplished oral surgeons you can trust to provide you with an effective, personalized treatment plan and also be ready to handle any surprises that may occur during your journey toward beautiful, durable new teeth.Â
What’s more, our clinics in Florida and California have been outfitted with the latest in high-tech imaging equipment, allowing us to take a fully customized approach to patient treatment plans and dental implant placement. Â
Although some dental professionals advertise discount pricing for full arch or full mouth dental implants, it’s important to ask about the provider’s training and experience with cases like yours. Some clinics offer one-size-fits-all services with implant procedures performed by general dentists who took a weekend course. Our oral surgeons have had extensive specialized training, and full mouth or full arch dental implants are their sole focus. Â
As a rule of thumb, regardless of how complicated a case is, New Teeth Now patients pay from $3,000 to $4,000 per zygomatic implant. Typically, one to four zygomatic dental implants are used during a procedure, depending on the extent of bone loss in the upper jaw. Because zygomatic implants are so specialized, these fees are in addition to the procedure’s base price, which we will describe in more detail below. If you’d like a quote for the full procedure, contact us for current pricing. Â
Are Zygomatic Dental Implants Worth the Money?Â
Considering that the price of zygomatic implants accounts for a fraction of the total cost of the dental implant procedure, they are absolutely worth the investment to improve your overall well-being and oral health. For anyone researching full mouth dental implant costs for the first time, the price range from one provider to the next can be surprising.Â
Among the factors that can affect the price are your overall health and the condition of your mouth, including your gums and the strength of your jawbone. For example, if you have extensive bone loss, some providers may recommend that you pursue bone grafting treatment before getting your implants. This is not only costly but likely to require several visits to a periodontist or oral surgeon over a period of months.Â
At New Teeth Now, we’ve never had to turn away patients who wanted full mouth dental implants because of the severity of their bone loss. Our surgeons’ expertise in placing zygomatic implants is a major reason why we’re able to outfit patients with a full set of beautiful new teeth in a single day, no matter the condition of their mouth.Â
Moreover, our customized approach is worth the investment to improve your quality of life and avoid the expense of maintaining damaged or failing teeth. Upkeep for advanced periodontal disease, for example, can add up quickly as treatments such as scaling and root planing will prolong the disease without curing it.Â
It's More Expensive to Wait Too Long
Without intervention, bone loss gets worse over time. Following any tooth extractions, the longer you wait, the more bone loss will occur. More bone loss often means you will need additional traditional or zygomatic implants to support your teeth.Â
Patients who have long endured issues such as periodontal disease often tell us how they regret investing so much time and money in treatments that don’t help them get the smile they’ve always wanted. When compared to single dental implants at a per tooth rate, replacing all of your teeth is more cost effective, averaging only a third of the cost of replacing all your teeth one at a time using dental implants.Â
We have spoken to many patients who have been turned away by other dental implant providers due to bone loss. At New Teeth Now, our surgeons are renowned for their experience in full mouth restorations for patients who suffer from severe bone loss. It is very unlikely that we would not be able to help someone because of severe bone loss.Â
Who Is a Candidate for Zygomatic Dental Implants?
If you need half or more of your teeth replaced with dental implants, or you suffer from advanced periodontal disease, then you’re a candidate for New Teeth Now. The New Teeth Now procedure requires medical clearance and access to your medical history to review disqualifying concerns unrelated to bone loss. Qualifying patients who have bone loss in the upper jaw are more likely to need zygomatic dental implants.Â
Patients from all over the country come to New Teeth Now because our oral surgeons excel as implant specialists for cases of severe bone loss. Most patients we see are aware of our reputation through referrals and patient testimonials.Â
We prioritize affordability and quality because we care deeply about our patients’ stories. Fortunately, zygomatic dental implants do not have a dramatic impact on the cost of the New Teeth Now procedure.Â
How Long Will Zygomatic Dental Implants Last?
Just like our traditional implants, our zygomatic dental implants are designed to last for a lifetime. In the unlikely event that implant failure were to occur, statistically, it would take place within two years of the procedure. Because of this, the first two years of maintenance is included in the base price of the New Teeth Now restoration along with a two-year warranty for your implants.Â
We also take pride in the high quality and durability of the beautiful custom teeth that our gifted technicians craft in our in-house lab.Â
What’s Included at the Base Price for the Procedure?
When you request an estimate from us on the website or over the phone, you’ll receive a price range to help you budget for the procedure. After you schedule a consultation and meet with knowledgeable members of our team, you’ll receive the final price with no hidden fees or surprises.Â
Â
Unlike other clinics, where the quality of care varies widely, we have a consistent reputation for excellence in performing dental implant restorations. This is especially notable for patients who have severe bone loss.Â
To recap: The first quote you receive from New Teeth Now is for your total treatment from start to finish. This is the base cost. At other offices, you may need several quotes coming from each of the many professionals involved with your treatment. Part of our appeal to patients lies in our ability to offer all of the services needed, including general anesthesia during the implant procedure and custom dental prosthetics crafted in our in-house lab, under one roof. Â
Therefore, our base estimate will include all of the following:Â
- All extractions (if any)Â
- Traditional implantsÂ
- AbutmentsÂ
- Professional general anesthesiaÂ
- Three sets of teeth (two healing sets and a final set)Â
- Two years of follow-up careÂ
Â
There is no charge based on the number of traditional implants or abutments you will need. Similarly, not needing extractions will not reduce the price of the procedure.Â
The primary factors affecting cost are related to the severity of bone loss and the extent of intervention to create a secure base for your new prosthetics. At the consultation, your oral surgeon will be able to tell how much intervention is necessary due to bone loss.Â
With Everything Else Included, Why Do Zygomatic Dental Implants Affect the Total Price?
The use of zygomatic dental implants in full mouth restorations is highly specialized and takes place in a sensitive area of the face near the eyes. To feel confident that you are receiving the best possible care, you will need the help of a qualified oral and maxillofacial surgeon who has experience placing zygomatic implants on a regular basis.Â
Â
Unlike other facilities, our surgeons do not rely on prefabricated implant guides. The placement of implants is intuitive. Not every mouth is the same. Choosing the appropriate angle and abutment requires years of experience.Â
The number of zygomatic implants, determined by the amount and location of bone loss, will also be a factor in the additional cost. Bilateral implants are used when severe bone loss is present on both sides of the upper jaw. A quad-zygoma implant procedure refers to the maximum number of zygomatic implants a patient can receive, where two zygomatic implants are used for both sides of the upper jaw.Â
Can Zygomatic Implants Be Placed in the Lower Jaw?
Zygomatic dental implants provide support by connecting the upper bridge to the cheekbone, or zygoma. This cannot be done for the lower jaw.Â
However, it is more common for extensive bone loss in the upper jaw to complicate a one-size-fits-all, restorative procedure like All-on-4®. Even with bone loss, the lower jaw has more bone to work with. Often, six implants will be used instead of four to provide adequate support.Â
Â
Because our surgeons don’t rely on guided implant systems, they are skilled at finding solutions and techniques to support each patient’s new teeth with the existing bone. While not impossible, it is rare that a patient with bone loss in the lower jaw will need bone grafting before we replace their bottom teeth.Â
